Electrochemical carbon nanotube field-effect transistor
We explore the electric-field effect of carbon nanotubes (NTs) in electrolytes. Due to the large gate capacitance, Fermi energy (EF) shifts of order ±1 V can be induced, enabling to tune NTs from...

Self-organized quantum wires formed by elongated dislocation-free islands in (In,Ga)As/GaAs(100)
Long and fairly uniform quantum wire arrays have been fabricated by the growth of (In,Ga)As/GaAs multilayer structures. The structural properties of the quantum wires are characterized by atomic force...

A flat panel display prototype has been fabricated using gated carbon nanotubes as electron emission source. The gate structure is made by a self-aligned method. The pixels are turned "on" and "off" by controlling the gate electrode with a 50 V source. The operating properties of the display show much promise for further development. It is believed that this technology can lead to easy-to-make and inexpensive flat panel displays with low driving voltage. ©2001 American Institute of Physics.
